OK, so I'm starting with $10 and playing ring game NL hold'em online at PokerStars. A few rules:1. I won't move up in limits unless I have 500 big blinds for that limit. I'm starting at $0.01-$0.02 w

Micro Challenge: Still surviving. My goal was to turn $10 into $100,000 with a very aggressive bankroll plan, but I've been stuck at the $0.25-$0.50 level for quite sometime now. I've played 1782 hands at that limit and am down $87.65. My bankroll now sits at $166.03. You can follow the progress of that challenge at my personal website, www.fullcontactpoker.com. Go to the Forums, then find the Daniel's Blog section, and you'll find a stickied thread there with all my results.
I read that quote from your recent blog entry on 02/05/2011 and thought I'd pop in here just to let you know that the micro and small stakes games just got a LOT better in terms of quality on 02/10/2011. PokerStars dropped the 50bb max NLHE games and properly labeled the 40bb-100bb games as the "default" no limit games. Fish and casual players had been funnelled to the 50bb max games in the past, thus making the 100bb max games a more difficult "reg fest". However, with this recent change, 100bb max games are REALLY good again with a better mix of casual players, regs, and everyone in between.My point for mentioning this is that whatever success you had at $25NL, you should now have that same success at $50NL in your Micro Challenge imo. And, when you're ready to move up $100NL, the play and challenges you had at $50NL should be similar @ $100NL and so forth.

I'm curious how the night went. He was on there at the .25/.50 tables. I couldn't stay on though because the rail gives me a migraine.Edit: Saw the update. Looks like not too well. Hopefully the tides will turn. I really want to see this challenge completed.

This thread explains everything.Back when Daniel met Barack Obama, he already knew he would be undertaking this challenge. As such, an agreement was made, so that if things don't go so well with this challenge, the events that unfolded on Black Friday would follow to ensure that the challenge can be put on hold indefinitely.It all makes perfect sense now.

Is this challenge still going?
Well DN can't play on PS while in the states. He has alluded to spending time in Toronto starting this fall?? maybe so that he can uses his Canadian-ness to play online and stuff.

i play a lot of Micro...one thing you rarely do is bluff. If you do its only to player you Know fold to reraises otherwise if they hit anything theyll call...if you do bluff only take one shot if they dont fold isnt worth it

Daniel, whats the best way, do you think, to approach the micro-limit in terms of ring games?
